A CHILO'S SKIN,

Eczematous Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cuticura.

IA ~ little son, aged eight years, has been afflicted
vi with Eczema Of the scalp, and at times great
portion of the body, ever since he was two years
OLD. II began in his ears, and extended to his
scalp, which became covered with scabs and sores,
and from which a sticky fluid pours out, causing
intense itching and distress and leaving his hair
matted and lifeless. Underneath these scabs the
skin was raw, like piece OF beefsteak. GradU-
ally the hair came out and was destroyed, until
but small patch was left at the back Of the head.
My friends In Peabody know how my little boy
has suffered. AT night he would scratch his head
until his pillow was covered with blood. used
to tie his hands behind him, and in many ways
tried to prevent his scratching; but 1t was use.

A claim of this State against the Gen.
eral Government for nearly million
dollars is now In promising condition,
and will probably be paid during the
year. 1t i. a just claim and should have
been paid long ago. The State paid her
soldiers for services rendered the United
States during the Seminole war, and for
looked to the party benefited for reim-
bursement.
But when a contemporary attributes all
the credit for work done to Charles
Dougherty, our Congressman should be
the first to enter protest in the interests
of Justice; when the same authority de-
clares that the hardest work has already
been done, al! of US know a mistake has
been made. Before the days of Randall
and Holman it was exceedingly easy to
pass a claim of any sort through the
House; the Senate has always been of
more conservative temper, and here the
hardest fights against appropriations,
however just and proper, have always
been made.
Senator Call and others of our public
men have worked for years to secure
the result now So nearly attained. Mr..
Dougherty can Justly claim much credit
in the matter; for a new member he has
succeeded wonderfully we'll, and can
be rightfully proud of record made by
hard work and honest effort. From his
reward we would not subtract one iota,
but he reaped the harvest which had al
ready been planted by others; he may
claim full credit for good mans work
at the eleventh hour, but he should not
allow the merits of others to be ignored.
The parable of the CLEANER applies here,
and Senator Call IS one of the laborers
who began work in the morning and has
borne the heat and burden of the day.
Neither is our contemporary right in the
superstition that the harvest labor is
done. In working the bill through the
Senate, Wilkinson Call will have need
of all his influence and tact; even if he
fail he will not be the less entitled to
credit for all he may do to obtain justice
for his State. And we shall not encour-
age his efforts nor enlarge his influence
by belttiiRg his work beforehand or de-
priving him of the gratitude for what he
has already done. We speak in no dis
respect to Mr.. Dougherty, his influence
or his work, but in the interests of JUS
tice we urge that those who have TIE
means of gaining exact information
should transmit it unsullied by personal
malignity To the people.

PETTY SPITE.
raVares Herald.


We are panied to be obliged to an
nOunce to- our readers that the suspen-
sion of the Herald becomes matter of
necessity. The cause may be briefly
stated in the following extract from a
letter of c. III. Jones to the editor of this
paper:
while publishing the prospectus, you
have assaIled the Tines Union and de
famed its editor, in juring them To the ca
tent of your feeble influence. SO there
seems to be- no basis for an extension of
any courtesy on our part. Feeling that
we are under no obligation to continue
exchanging a daily newspaper for weekly
defamation, | have ordered the Tavares
HerdId stricken from our exchange list.
If G. III. Jones supposes that the Her
did cares a whit more for his personal
organ than it does for the veriest cross
roads paper iTr the State, he makes a
great mistake. If he supposes that we
are dependent on an exchange with the
Times Union, he makes another great
mistake. Hence, of what avail is this
manifestation of petty spite:
If the Times Union refuses TO ex-
change with ali papers that criticise its
arrogant and high-handed course, its "
change list will soon be reduced to the
Maitland Courier (Which prints two of
its eight pages in its own Office. the
Lake City Reporter. Waldo advertiser
